This afternoon I booked us a short break in the Donegal Gaeltacht for next weekend. It is sure to be cold and wet but we don’t mind that. The house we’re staying in is on the shore just north of Doirí Beaga, about four hours drive...

This afternoon, as I was readying myself to prepare dinner, I bethought to myself to open a bottle of wine so that once the dinner is in the oven my wife and I could share an aperitif as we waited.

So the clock on our mantelpiece is 10 minutes slow. I noticed it when I got home today. The batteries must be running out. Have to wait till tomorrow before we can get them replaced.

When the “shall we just order in?” mood hits, the only thing that saves me is having a ready-to-go equivalent in the freezer. I’m curious: what do you keep prepped so you actually skip the takeaway? My favorite is a ready-made...

An interesting news story tells of male humpback dolphins off the coast of Western Australia using sea-sponges as wigs to attract mates. This behaviour has only been seen in a small number of areas off our northern coasts....

There’s a smell of decay and nostalgia floating in the night air here. Someone’s been burning the autumn leaves they’ve raked up in their garden and I’m loving it.
